    White line, gap, white line, gap, white line,gap. That annoys me when I am on the road and the white is only painted on for a short distance, then there's none, then there's another bit.

    People who post obvious answers to my trivial annoyances. :D

    People who like their steak anything more than medium rare..they just annoy me so much. Why would you RUIN a good steak like that? and then they go ahead and buy a fillet steak and ask for it to be well done..WELL DONE, A FILLET STEAK?!
    honestly, you people....disgusting.

    When you can hear the song in your head, but you can't think of the lyrics, the artist or the name of the song.

    People that get almost to the end of passing their items through the checkout, and feck off out of the line to get something "they forgot". Then, when they do eventually get back to the cashier, we have to start the whole nonsense of packing it, finding the means to pay in the handbag, and eventually paying. All of course interspersed with a long and detailed chat about Aunty Mary's piles, or something equally nauseating. Then there's the problem of clearing the packing area so that the cashier can start processing the next customer. Arrgghhhhh

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    ^ on that note, people who get their change and stand at the counter for an other 2 or 3 minutes putting their money into all the right compartments.

    Novel concept, move the fúck out of the way and do it when you're not in everyone elses way you self entitled cúnts.

    people who suddenly wish to be called their proper name after years of having a shortened or nickname eg call me michael not mick or its patrick not paddy

    Worse is when someone you've known for years, or even all your life gets a new girlfriend who insists on calling them by their first name and gives you filthies when you use the nickname you've always called them. Sorry love, you can call him whatever you want and I'll do the same...m'kay?

    People who judge you based on how you want your food cooked. I had a friend who always liked her steak well done and then a mutual friend who eats his practically just with the horns cut off and the ars* wiped "converted" her, as if eating pink steak is some kind of sacred religion. Now whenever we are out there's an entire production about how she didnt know how to eat steak before and now that she has been shown the way she'd never go back. The fuuck? Is it some kind of cult? Do they have a support group?

    Sometimes I just can't thank a post enough! :D

    Honestly, the amount of people who think there's something great about eating raw meat, civilisation has moved on just a small bit since we were cavemen, we can cook stuff now. If I want to eat raw meat, I'll order a steak tartare.

    Otherwise - Piss off you Marco Pierre White wannabe! :pac:

    Which brings me to another point, I hate (or, in keeping with the spirit of the thread) am trivially annoyed by, the Marks & Spencer ads for food that show big turds of meat that are practically still alive in the middle. When did this become popular?? Makes me get sick in my mouth :(

    Because steak is tastier when it has not been cremated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,029 ✭✭✭salacious crumb


    I blame the French :D

    I think the concept of taste is an entirely subjective one, and indeed the cremation of another's steak hardly impacts on the taste of one's own. What does leave a bad taste in one's mouth is having to listen to a self-righteous wannabe cool culinary customer banging on about how "wrong" you are to want your food cooked :pac::pac:

    When you go to bed in good time, then can't get to sleep as your mind is racing. Eventually fall asleep about 3am then have to get up after about 3-4 hours sleep exhausted and go to work.

    And checking the clock and calculating- if I fall asleep in ten minutes I'll get five hours sleep, then recalculating every hour or so after that til eventually you say **** it its not worth going asleep at all at this stage.

    All the pervo celebrities out there, Jimmy Saville, Dave Lee Travis, Bill Roche etc,

    Latest news is Mick Hucknall was caught in Petmania molesting a rabbit!!

    When taken to task by staff, he said he was just "Holding back the ears", they asked Why?

    He replied, because "The Bunny was too tight to mention"

    Too early on a Monday?

    Especially considering nobody in their right mind would eat under cooked chicken. Why then is it ok to not cook beef?

    Do you have scientific evidence? :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,119 ✭✭✭poundapunnet


    People who can't blow their fcuking nose, just sit there sniffing completely oblivious to how disgusting and annoying they are. It takes two seconds!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Frigga_92


    Do people seriously not find themselves repulsive when they're eating food and it's spitting out of their mouth and they're smacking their lips and making loads of noise and slurping their drink?! I feel like pulling my ears off!!

    No :(

    Waiting for the postman. If I miss the delivery I have to go all the way to the sorting office.

    People who don't cover their mouths when they yawn, I don't want to see the inside of their mouths.

    Having to keep resetting the times on our central heating, as one day it's too warm with them and another day it's too cold without the ones I turned off.

    people who bring trolleys full of stuff through the 10 item self service till .

    there is a special place in hell for you people ! :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    People that say "Well, to be honest" or "I won't lie to you".

    Do they usually lie, or do they believe I think they are about to lie?

    I ate raw chicken in Kagoshima, Japan. I'm still alive. Like sushi chefs, you have to have experience, training and a license to prepare such dishes. I've also had fugu (poisonous blowfish) and raw horse.
